3 Section 1. Introduction The ESSV Tour programme is to implement, in the year. The tour parties include the senior members of Project Teams, therefore widening the participation and enabling all participants to achieve maximum benefit. The tours are designed to enable the key decision makers of the business to share best practice, transfer learning and conduct peer reviews. The tours also allow for a compliance check and enable a degree of monitoring. Agenda for each Tour: Induction Site Tour Project EHS Review Tour Party Consultation Feedback

4 Section 2. Tour guidelines The Tour Party will liaise with each other and agree a tour date with the respective Project Manager/Project Director, so as to ensure that the necessary people are available on the day. The tour date when agreed is notified to the EHS Manager so the tour programme can be kept up to date. A copy of the completed tour report is sent to the EHS Manager. The Tour Party need to ensure that the Report is closed out within an agreed timescale and forwarded to the EHS Manager. Requirements of Tour Party The Tour Party will ensure that at least 10 categories are reviewed and scored on each visit with the following included in every case: Induction Procurement Design & Planning Environmental Impact Safe System of Work Competence Supervision Requirements of Project Team The Project Manager/Project Director must ensure that essential team members are available on the day of the tour.
